The concept truck represents what would be E-Fuso’s final step in electrification, a full battery-electric vehicle; the brand says its electrification will occur in steps as the associated components and battery technology progress.

In the near future, the brand will focus on electrifying all of its trucks and buses in some manner, with the heavy-duty all-electric truck a final goal.

The E-Fuso Vision One features a 300 kilowatt-hour battery pack that it says provides 350 kilometers (217 miles) of range.

Most importantly, per E-Fuso, the Vision One boasts an approximate payload of 11 tons—only 2 tons less than its diesel-powered production truck.

However, even with 217 miles of range, the powertrain remains best suited for regional intracity operations.

E-Fuso says a production version of the Vision One concept will likely first come to market in Japan or Europe; both China and the United States are vastly different and demand long-range haulers due to the countries’ sheer size.
